This is an example of automation failure, which is both illustrative and ironic considering the nature of this particular text.

Apparently, this book is in the public domain as its copyright has expired, so other publishers should have quality editions. This edition should be removed from market. From what I'm learning from other sources I don't think this Book has many facts in it. I didn't like it. The first portion of the book is the poetic translation of the thirty-six verses themselves.

One page gives the original Greek text, the opposite side gives the French translation, while the English translation appears at the bottom of both pages. The second portion of the book gives detailed examinations verse by verse.

You see, the verses were written in the manner of all ancient wisdom literature- there are at least two levels of meaning. Many people can read these verses as nothing more than moral instruction on how to live a virtuous life. They are that, but they are also more besides. D'Olivet broke with tradition and revealed the esoteric meaning of every verse. These deeper meanings reveal the deep perennial wisdom that forms a large part of the preparation, purification, and perfection of the adept.

Yet, simple reading and intellectual knowing of these principles is not enough- they must become a part of your very soul. That is why Pythagoreans through the ages read and contemplated on these verses and their deeper meaning every day of their lives down through the ages. This persecution was not because the tyrant thought that D'Olivet was a fake Napoleon was raised around the occult and knew the real thing when he experienced it. No, D'Olivet was persecuted because Napoleon recognized that he was a true Theurgist in the highest sense- one who seeks to align his being and will so closely with God that they are inseparable, and thereby help to achieve God's Will and Divine Harmony on earth by his workings.

The work of such an adept is seldom in sympathy with the work of a tyrant.

The golden verses of Pythagoras - Wikipedia

Lists with This Book. I am very much interested in this book and character. One of the reasons: Why was he condemned by the Pope? Hermes Fabre, before approaching the verses attributed to Pythagoras, wrote some reflections on world poetry…. He himself invented a new melodious form of poetry.

The Golden Verses of Pythagoras and Other Pythagorean Fragments

He got familiar with several Semitic languages. He wrote about the Christian Cabala, about music as a science and the language of the Hebrews 'restored'…. I need to find more. On his biography I was surprised to find: He believed in reincarnation metempsychosis ; and had a strange death: From my French readings he lived the last years of his life as a protestant. He had a great linguistic talent, whether approaching Latin-based languages namely the Occitan, and its poetry or the Semitic languages.

Even his most daring hypothesis like the Hebrew as the pure idiom of the ancient Egyptians, should be closely examined. Finally, the Golden verses. These principles commented by Fabre cover several areas: Some are like this in formulation: The 37th and last principle looks like a reward to those who follow such code on Pythagorean conduct. So that, ascending into radiant Ether, Midst the Immortals, thou shalt be thyself a God To those who follow those wise and golden rules.

Fabre followed the Greek text. The search for knowledge and the search for virtue are the same in these verses. Even the agnostic reader might find many reasonable suggestions. I have no idea about the philology of this book, but its core ideas are really interesting.

The split we take as natural came during the last centuries. Interesting collection of maxims, some of which are divided mid-sentence. Perhaps this is proper grammar in ancient Greek? Anyways, useful and beautiful. A shame that humanity still has not mastered these. Avoid as much as possible hating your friend for a slight fault. But above all things respect yourself. In no way neglect the health of your body. Do only that which will not hurt you, and think carefully about what you are going to do before you do it.

But abstain from meat, which will prevent you from the purifying and the deliverance of your soul.

Nov 30, Christopher Murtagh rated it really liked it. I think it's a great work. Some of the parts of the sections from other pythagoreans are quite patchy and a tad too religious. The Golden verses are pretty great, it's kind of a how to guide for living a good and wise life. You'll find some are similar to common sayings or christian preachings, they are probably things that people have been repeating to each other since language began. The best part for me is the symbols of pythagoras which are cryptic sayings that are alternately baffling, mad a I think it's a great work.

The best part for me is the symbols of pythagoras which are cryptic sayings that are alternately baffling, mad as a box of frogs, truly thought provoking and maybe even genuinely useful. For example - cut not fire with a sword departing from your house turn not back for the furies will be your attendants walk in unfrequented paths eat not beans Sacrifice and adore unshod Each saying has an explanation after it, which is usually quite wordy but tends to throw light onto even the most bizarre instruction these are by Iamblichus, though this edition doesn't really make this clear.

The main failing of this book is that it seems like something that was just grabbed when it went public domain and printed off with little care to properly format or explain what it is. A better book in this regard is the Pythagorean Sourcebook by Guthrie, which I read after this, even though it still has pretty much the same golden verses. That one is more expensive but well worth it, more symbols, some biographies, a nice essay, some various pythagorean fragments.

This one is still worth reading, if you just want the verses and the main symbols, quick and easy, but then so is just checking wikipedia. Feb 10, Maan Kawas rated it it was amazing. This is a very interesting book as Olivet uses the first part of the book to show his thoughts on poems, and ancient writings and how they relate to Pythagorean thinking, further to that how some poems have become much removed from the original intent of the Pythagorean verse.

He shows how Pythagoras, in his opinion, used the Golden Verses to convey much more than was written. Or should I say Lysis, one of his students, did.
